Braintree is a full-stack payments platform that makes it easy to accept payments via your app or the website . Its service replaces the traditional model of sourcing a payment gateway and merchant account from different providers .

Braintree is often compared to PayPal , but it differs in that it is aimed at higher-volume ecommerce businesses that need a lot of custom control over their payment processes . In contrast , PayPal is designed to be simple and easy to use for merchants with modest ecommerce needs .
